Why do so many of our players lose all sense and reason when we are winning a game?

Why did Lineham batter someone for no reason?
Why did Patton react on 1st tackle when we just needed to complete a set?
Why did Murdoch-Masila get roped in by McGuire when it was obvious he was going to do anything to milk a penalty?
Why did Cooper pick the ball up when he must have known he was offside?
Why didn't Patton get the ball dead?

Why aren't we learning from these experiences?

The Cooper one was just reaction, but after being impressed with Pattons performance I was disappointed with the silly penalty at such a critical time.

Fatigue (through having a numerical disadvantage for 16/17 minutes) makes a poor decision maker. Not an excuse, mind, just a plausible reason.

Patton had a lousy 5 mins, missing the kick, failibg to put it dead then giving posession away on the first tackle. However, it was his best performance for a while.

Whilst I agree with the general sentiment, as to why we lose composure, I do think fatigue and frustration played a huge part tonight and I'm amazed the players.kept their cool with Hicks.

As an aside, commentary was so poor I felt quite nostalgic for Eddie & Stevo. All we got was brave HKR puahed Warrington to the limit and some idiot they'd just dragged out the pub calling Toby George all night.

Or Blake Austin punting the ball to the fullback with 30 seconds left instead of drilling it into touch?

Of those, bmm is getting quite a reputation for being a mard, it's almost like he is looking for an excuse to throw a strop or he's walking on the field upset and lashing out at anyone.

Im getting a bit fed up with it as it always now seems ro go against him

Half the team certainly looked brain dead and had to pay the price for it when they ran themselves to a virtual standstill at the end of the first half. Yes, perhaps it was due to fatigue from last week, but I am beginning to think this team don't have the temperament to win the bigger games. On the plus side I thought Mamo had a very good game and was solid under the high ball. What a clever signing he has been by Price.

Next week could well be a turning point for us. We have a poor recent record against Catalan and their big pack. And after getting embarrassed by Hull they will be up for this game and to cement themselves in the top four of the table.

Lineham’s I would probably put down to sunstroke, was it for charity or a bet? (The buzz cut).
Patton...I had been impressed with but that was plain stupid.
BMM the jury is still out as far as I’m concerned every performance seems to be a curates egg.
Cooper, pure instinct can’t criticise.
Undoubtedly fatigue played its part, frustration with the Robert Hicks show will also have contributed. Was I the only person to hear Hicks say “it’s ok Danny” as he rushed off side at a scrum? On a similar point he shouted “out!” when the ball was still well and truly in the scrum. The Rovers front row half the time weren’t even touching let alone bound.

The BMM reaction was daft, but it wasn't even a late hit, and Maguire tried to grapple BMM's head as they were falling. The Patton one had me almost hurling the remote across the room

Put it this way......the issues above were addressed in the sheds at full time from what i heard last night!!

Based on Price's comments I can well believe that.

Let's hope today's match is (allowed to be) competitive. I don't expect Saints to be handicapped or reduced to 11, or even 12, men at any point but for the sake of the watching public I hope it's a contest.

I’m extremely bored of us constantly whinging at the officials n’all.

Arms in the air all the time;
There are times when half a dozen players are shouting “heeeyyyy” at the ref;
Some players don’t like being tackled and waste a second when playing the ball having a moan about some insignificant infringement they think has gone on in the tackle or when they’re getting up (just play the ing ball!);
Clearly doing something wrong and giving a penalty away and then moaning about it even though they’re bang to rights...

It can’t be doing us any favours. The officials must hate some of our players.

Some of them seem obsessed with the officials. This isn’t just a Wire problem, admittedly. Some players in SL must go to the ref’s changing room before games with an apple then run around holding his hand during the game - but we do have our fair share of mards.

This won’t be coming from Price neither because he doesn’t come across as someone who says to the lads “get in the refs ear from the off”. He seems a lot fairer and calmer than resorting to that.

Our discipline is shocking at times...thankfully it didn't cost us the game on Friday. Price needs to get a grip of them...and from what Longbarn has said...it's been dealt with.

There is always a danger of a team feeling they are being victimised, even if that is the case it is the Captain’s job to quell it. Unfortunately Chris Hill seems to stoke the fire.

Exactly....as well as that, the captain shouldnt be arguing every decision. He should be bollocking his own players, even if he does feel hard done to. Worst case he should be saying 'the refs pinging us for everything, you need to clean areas up'. Dont give the ref a chance to do you.'

Instead, as you say, he just wades in and stokes the fire, gets himself wound up and ends up doing something daft, compounding matters.

Hes a great player Chris, but i feel like the captaincy has effected his game massively......

I’m getting fed up with Charnley in particular, constantly trapping the opposition in tackles, it’s stupid and referees never fall for it anymore. I’ve noticed since this little aspect of gamesmanship has increased, his try scoring rate has dropped off. He needs to focus on doing what he does best instead of making us look like cheats.

Him and Hill are the main two.

Charnley seems to have a problem with every tackle that’s made on him and loves a dive or trap-in or turtle. Straight out of the Sam Tomkins school of ruck. Just play the ball man!

Already feels like one of those afternoons.

40 minutes of brainfarting.

Really does dropping some ball

Can't someone teach BMM that he actually needs to keep hold of the ball?

BMM is a "luxury" we can do without. The odd barnstorming run doesn't forgive errors, penalties and limited stamina.

Another night of this.

We are a dumb side no doubt about it. We're good, but stupid in 80/20 measure

Patten lost you the game when he went for the short kick on two tackles at 6 / 6 should have gone for a drop goal
